‘Star Trek’ replica captain’s chair makes the ultimate geek throne

Just what every “Star Trek” fan needs to kick back with his tribbles — a ridiculously-detailed replica of the captain’s chair on the U.S.S. Enterprise from the original “Star Trek” TV series, courtesy Diamond Select Toys & Collectibles. (Click the “Star Trek” link then go to “Trek Tek Replicas.”)

The replica hot seat features “all the accents and details from the historic prop” as well as sound effects and phrases. Limited to 1,701 pieces worldwide (get the numerical reference?) the replica seat will set you back $2,717.01 and should be available late May 2009. (Spotted via ToyNewsI.com.)
